NHS Study Test Effectiveness of "hypnobirthing"
For many women, deciding which pain relief to use in childbirth is one of the most vital aspects of the whole experience. Some experts think using hypnotherapy, alongside gas and air or epidurals can make labour easier. Mental relaxation techniques are being tested in a pilot scheme at maternity units across the north west of England.

Additional HypnoBirthing Information
"Using Hypnosis to help with labour has been shown to reduce the length of the first stage of labour by hours and the second stage from an average of 50 minutes to 37 minutes. 50% of parents using the Fertility2Birth HypnoBirth program have experienced an entire labour lasting less than 5 hours.We spent a lot of time investigating the secrets that really help women to have the labour we all dream of. Females commonly fear giving birth from an early age and males often have very little idea of what will happen at the delivery of their baby. It is also the case that the birthing partner has very little input at the birth and often feels quite useless.
The Fertility2Birth HypnoBirth program aims to remove all of the fears associated with birth and turn the feelings into enthusiastic anticipation. Whether you choose the individual or group program you will receive all course material, which includes an abundance of things for the birthing partner to do prior to the birth and during labour. This does not mean that the birthing partner has to participate. If you choose to use the HypnoBirth program on your own this is also fine, we provide you with two CDs that can be used daily and many other special tricks that you can use alone.
Clinical research has shown that confident, relaxed and positive mothers have better birth outcomes. During the Fertility2Birth HypnoBirth program you will learn how to relax using hypnosis so that during your labour you can, if you choose to, go into the deep relaxed state that is hypnosis. Many people do not realise that hypnosis is actually a heightened state. When in hypnosis, although very relaxed you will be able to think, feel and behave as normal. You will have focused concentration and be in full control of your body. The HypnoBirth program is however not all about hypnosis so, even though it is strongly recommended, you will not have to be under hypnosis at any point if you choose not to be. Remember this is all about you having the birth of your dreams."
